Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1687 – Door Grand Dao
This palace that looked majestic like the residence of the sultan was very spacious. It was encompassed by Chaotic Qi, and it was divine and extraordinary.
However, at this moment, this palace was in a mess. It was covered in damage, and the aura of a deadly battle as well as the sharp smell of blood still enveloped the air.
When Chen Xi arrived here, he noticed that Le Wuhen, Yuqiu Jing, and Zhuanyu Shui were actually sitting in a pool of blood. Their entire bodies were covered in injuries while their faces were pale and dim, and they were gasping for breath.
Only Shentu Yanran is in good condition. Only her beautiful face was completely pale, and the space between her eyebrows was filled with exhaustion.
Clearly, a battle had taken place here before Chen Xi arrived, and Le Wuhen and the others had been seriously injured during the battle!
“Chen Xi?” When Chen Xi arrived here, he was instantly noticed by Le Wuhen and the others, causing their spirits to be refreshed before their faces dimmed again.
Being reduced to such a miserable condition was really a little embarrassing, and they felt ashamed of being seen in this condition by Chen Xi.
“What really happened?” Chen Xi was a little worried, and a frown appeared on her face. It was all thanks to the help of Le Wuhen and the others so that he could travel all the way and arrive smoothly at the Ancestral Root Land, and they had been friends long ago. At this moment, when he saw them in distress, Chen Xi was somewhat angry and uneasy in his heart.
“Unfortunately, you are a step late. They had already captured the ninth grade Dao Root Ancestral Emperor …. “Le Wuhen sighed, and his voice was filled with a bitter tone.
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, and she swept around with her gaze. He suddenly realized there was a pond in the middle of the hall, and the pond was emitting a deep and glittering strand of purple divine light. Moreover, a very pure and thick strand of ancestral aura emerged from within it.
If Chen Xi was not mistaken, then the pond was probably a ninth-grade Ancestral Root!
Now, however, the foundation of this ancestral root was completely empty. Obviously, it was just like Le Wuhen had said. The Emperor Grade Nine Ancestor Dao Root produced here had already been taken.
This caused Chen Xi's heart to sink. I was a step late in the end! “Before, we were the ones who arrived here first, and we noticed Emperor Rank Ancestral Dao Root, this ninth grade one. However, we never expected that we would suffer a surprise attack from Luo Shaonong's group right at the moment we tried to collect it …. “Shentu Yanran took a deep breath and described everything that happened before. His voice raged, and a deep thread of helplessness.
That can't help. When compared to Luo Shaonong's group, their overall strength was too much lower in the end. Even if Chen Xi wasn't late, it probably wouldn't help at all.
“Why they ...” As he looked at Le Wuhen and the others who were severely injured and had dim expressions, Chen Xi opened her mouth but did not continue in the end.
However, Shentu Yanran had understood his thoughts, and he could not help but laugh with scorn. “You want to ask why they didn't kill us?”
Before Chen Xi could speak, Shentu Yanran continued. “It's very simple. That is because if they kill us, then they will be in a very dire situation once they return to the Imperial Region. “
Chen Xi thought for a moment and instantly reached an understanding.
Basically, it was because the identities of Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, Yuqiu Jing, and Zhuanyu Shui were too overwhelming. They all had the ancient and great powers of the Imperial Region standing behind them, and they were all outstanding existences amongst the Great God Realm.
If one of them were to be killed, then it would probably cause the ancient power to become enraged. Perhaps Luo Shaonong and the others were not afraid of this, but if they were to actually act like this, then they would definitely have to pay a very high price.
It was the same if the situation turned around. If Le Wuhen and the others occupied a position with absolute advantage, they might not kill Luo Shaonong and the others as well.
This is how strength, identity, strength, and various other factors hold each other back.
After all, they were all from the Imperial Region, and even to the extent that there was a connection between the clan and the sect they came from. So, no matter how ferocious they fought amongst themselves, they would absolutely not do such a thing openly.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, then even if that cultivator was from a great power in the Imperial Region, the death of that cultivator did not matter. Because in terms of importance, they were simply incomparable to a Great God.
This is reality.
However, Chen Xi did not have such considerations. So, that was the reason why he felt a little curious when he saw what had happened to Le Wuhen and the others.
However, even if he understood now, Chen Xi did not accept the unspoken rule that was an established practice. When he faced an enemy, he would never hold back because of the origin or background of his enemy.
……
“Lalu ... where are they?” Chen Xi asked in a low voice.
As far as he was concerned, as long as they did not leave the Genesis Ancestral Root, then he had a chance to snatch the rank nine Ancestral Emperor Dao Root from them.
Not to mention Chen Xi was unwilling to accept this kind of failure. He promised Empress Yu Che that he would stop Gongye Zhefu from acquiring the ninth level Dao Root Ancestral Emperor. Now that such an unexpected event had happened, how could he possibly be willing to give up?
Le Wuhen and the others fell silent when they heard this, and they were unwilling to mention it.
However, Chen Xi was well aware that their gazes were unintentionally glancing in the same direction in the hall.
That direction is on the side of the hall. It was a total mess, and there was a very ordinary door by his side.
However, when Chen Xi averted her gaze, she immediately realized that there was something unusual about it. The door was completely vaguely encompassed by a thread of indistinct fluctuations, and it seemed like a door leading to another world. It was calm and mysterious.
This caused Chen Xi to reach a flash of understanding, and he intended to go and investigate carefully.
“Chen Xi!” Le Wuhen stopped him and said, “You can't defeat them yourself. Let's accept our defeat this time. “
Le Wuhen laughed bitterly. “I know you don't want to give up. But you can't allow yourself to be overwhelmed with anger. If you fall into their hands, then the consequences that await you will probably be …. “
He did not finish speaking, but the meaning he wanted to convey was very clear. With Chen Xi's identity, Luo Shaonong and the others actually dared to kill him!
Chen Xi naturally understood the meaning behind Le Wuhen's words, and she couldn't hold her breath. After which, a wisp of resolute expression appeared in his eyes. He immediately flicked his sleeve and pulled out three jade boxes, and he handed them to Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, and Yuqiu Jing.
“This is three seventh grade Ancestral Dao Roots. Take them and leave this place, ” Chen Xi said before he headed for that door.
The reaction of Le Wuhen and the others caused him to have a strong feeling that Luo Shaonong's group must have passed through that door.
“Wait!” Le Wuhen stopped it. “Do you know what is behind that door !? That's the Grand Dao Door! This was the Chaotic Ancestral Root where the innate gods of this place were sealed with supreme divine power! It was said to contain the killing intent of all 3,000 Grand Daos in the universe! Once you take one wrong step, then you will definitely perish there! “
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, and her footsteps stopped.
The Grand Dao Door?
The roots of the sealed Chaotic Ancestor?
All the killing intent of the 3,000 Grand Daos in the universe?
Why was such a place set up in the Xuan residence?
Many questions arose in Chen Xi's heart.
“We originally thought that this Grand Dao Door was just a mere imaginary legend, and no one noticed it. But who would have imagined that it was really real …? ”Le Wuhen sighed, and his voice carried lumps of depressed feelings and even lumps of deep sense of loss. “Do you know why Luo Shaonong willingly handed the ninth grade Emperor Root Ancestor to Gongye Zhefu?”
Chen Xi frowned and said, “Could it be because of this Grand Dao Door?”
He seemed to feel a little disbelief. It was a ninth-grade Emperor of the Nine Level Ancestor Dao Root, so could it be that there was something in this world that was more precious than that to the Enlightened Domain Spirit God?
“Quickly once.” Le Wuhen's gaze focused on the door in the distance, and he said, “Akar the true Chaotic Ancestor is sealed inside the Grand Dao Door. According to legends, it was able to produce an Ancestral Dao Root that was even more formidable than a ninth-grade Emperor Rank Ancestor Dao Root! ”
Chen Xi was startled in her heart, and she said, “How is it possible?”
Le Wuhen and the others sighed. Just like Chen Xi, they felt disbelief before, and they regarded all of this as pure imaginary legends.
But when Luo Shaonong's group used some kind of secret technique to open the Grand Dao Door and enter it, they finally understood that the legend was true!
“Seventh grade is King Rank, eighth grade is King Rank, and ninth grade is Emperor Rank. It is publicly recognized as the Root of the Ancestral Dao which can only be a coincidence due to luck. Moreover, the Emperor Rank Ancestor Dao Root was already extremely formidable to an unimaginable degree. “Le Wuhen took a deep breath and said slowly,” However, there is another legend. The Single Dao Root was being nurtured in the Chaotic Ancestral Root. There was only one such Ancestral Dao Root in the world, and he possessed the power of kindness and virtue of imperial sovereignty!
“He had the advantages of the Ancestral Root, so he was respected as an emperor.
“He had the primacy of the Ancestral Root, so he was respected as a ruler.
“With kindness and benevolence, it is sovereignty among emperors!
“These Ancestral Dao Characters born within the Grand Dao Door are called Imperial Sovereign Dao Root. It is said to be perfect, supreme, and to have the power of a single ruler. If one could refine and absorb it while advancing to the Enlightened Ancestral God Realm, then in the future, one would definitely become a ruler in the Ancient Gods Domain who looked down on the world with pride! ”
Le Wuhen spoke word for word, and he seemed to be describing an ancient secret. It caused Chen Xi to be unable to help but feel the shock of surprise.
Sovereign Dao Root Root Root!
Who could have imagined that such a supreme treasure would actually exist above a ninth grade Emperor Rank Ancestral Dao Root?
“If it wasn't for that, how could Luo Shaonong possibly give Emperor Rank Ancestor Root ninth grade to Gongye Zhefu?” Clumps of ridicule expression gripped the corners of Le Wuhen's mouth.
“However, since this treasure is said to be the only existence, then how could it not be discovered and dug up by someone for countless years in the past?” Chen Xi frowned and was a little confused.
“Who knows?” Le Wuhen and the others did not know either. After all, they thought it was a pure imaginary legend, and they had absolutely never imagined that such an extremely precious treasure actually existed in the Genesis Ancestral Root.
Chen Xi nodded, and she pondered in silence.
“Chen Xi, don't risk it. Even if you are truly unafraid of Luo Shaonong and the others, but you must remember that the Grand Dao Door is filled with all the killing intent of the 3,000 Grand Daos in the universe. Once you take one wrong step, the consequence is death. “
“Persis. For safety, you should come back with us. “
“According to our conclusion, even if Luo Shaonong and the others had entered it, they would definitely suffer a great amount of danger. Luck is always accompanied by danger, and it is possible that they may perish at any time. “
At this moment, even Shentu Yanran, Yuqiu Jing, and Zhuanyu Shui persuaded Chen Xi, and they were unwilling to watch him take such risks alone.
